Intel Atom Z3735F vs MediaTek MT8735M

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive comparison data of benchmarks Intel Atom Z3735F vs MediaTek MT8735M, speed examination of GPUs Mali-T720 MP2 and Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail).
   This performance comparison includes two processors: Atom Z3735F is quad-core (Bay Trail) and MT8735M is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the technical characteristics of the chips, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special test applications like AnTuTu 8, GFXBench, Mozilla Kraken, 3DMark, Octane V2, PCMark, PassMark, WebXPRT 3, Quadrant, Neocore, Vellamo, GeekBench 6, 5, and how good the CPUs are in games PUBG, Mortal Kombat, Fortnite, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Real Racing 3, Sniper 3D, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock etc.
   After reading the results of all benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which chip is better to buy Atom Z3735F or MT8735M and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Madout2.
